Doesn't write a MBR

[Loïc Minier]

Binary package hint: usb-creator

Hi there

Starting from a zeroed USB key and adding a formatted partition to it (this is already reported), I didn't have any valid MBR and the resulting USB key didn't boot.

Evan told me to file this bug as a reminder that the MBR writing code has to be carried over from the previous version of usb-creator.

Thanks
